It is possible to carry out this repair without removing the tyre if the puncture is "slow". In this case the tyre is completely deflated and has been removed.

Securing the vehicle: removing and refitting the wheel -
Locate the source of the puncture on the tread. If necessary, use soapy water to find the puncture that will produce air bubbles.

If the puncture is caused by a screw, nail, etc., use a screwdriver or pliers to remove it without enlarging the hole.

Use the file provided in the kit to prepare the hole before installing the dowel.

Insert the file into the tire and then make back and forth movements as well as rotations.

Remove the file.
